‘Tyler Ennis also scored in regulation for the Sabres and Steve Ott had two assists. Buffalo has won two straight since losing four in a row and is 2-1 since Ron Rolston took over as interim coach when Lindy Ruff was fired.’

‘Following a scoreless overtime period, the Sabres won it in the shootout round thanks to goals by Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville. Both of Florida’s shooters, Jonathan Huberdeau and Peter Mueller, were stopped by Miller. The Buffalo netminder finished with 40 saves in the win.’

‘Adam Pardy had done some good things in this game, but three penalties are unacceptable. The last one was the worst protecting a one goal lead late in the third he takes a bad slashing penalty. His teammates picked him up and killed it off.’
